What a foul day.


Sunday 5th July: What a foul day. It was cold and rained virtually all day. We didn't go out except to feed the hens! We were going away for a couple of days to go skiing as the skifield opened yesterday, but the pass we need to use is closed due to snow, and so is the skifield so we stayed home.
In the morning Steve and I chatted about kitchens, carpets, paint colours etc. for our new home, while the boys made Lego models and car tracks in the playroom.
It's lovely now that the boys are older that we can all do our own activities at the same time, rather than everything having to be child-centred as it was not so long ago. Edward and Jonathan played a computer game together, Peter was watching motorbike and car racing on the tv, Steve was model building and I was doing some cross-stitch.
We had a roast dinner at tea-time and made some real lemonade, but it was a little sharp! Pudding was a gingerbread and custard.
The photo is of Steve working on his next aeroplane model, the plans on the lounge floor. It's only one day since the Winter Show but his success has spurred him on to get on with next year's entry!
